I like the grunting. I think it makes a match more exciting. You know what i don't understand are people who don't like the grunting but they know that a Serena,Sharapova and Venus match is going to be on tv, yet still they watch the match and complain about the grunting. I mean, that's like you know the pot is hot and if you touch it your going to get burned, yet still when you touch it and get burned, you complain.

Ah yes, the grunting debate. Grunting/shrieking personally doesn't bother me (I know it does bother a lot of folks though.) But it is surprising that the rule is not follwed more closely.

Friend at Court states - "A player should avoid grunting and making other loud noises. Grunting and other loud noises may bother not only opponents but also players on adjacent courts. In an extreme case, an opponent or a player on an adjacent court may seek the assistance of the Referee or a Roving Umpire. The Referee or official may treat grunting and the making of loud noises as a hindrance. Depending upon the circumstance, this could result in a let or loss of point."

I was at this casino minding my own business, and this guy came up to me and said, "You're gonna have to move, you're blocking a fire exit." As though if there was a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you're flammible and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit. - Mitch Hedberg

And yet you still shriek like a 5 year old girl every time you hit the ball...

As do OSU, Freebird and Jeffro. Although Jeffro has been absent from the forums for quite some time!

Dmastous, Bab and Euroka1 have all been down here for the T4U get together in Columbus, we go to Cinncy for the Masters tourney the next day. We spent 4 hours on the court this year and then went to Freebird's for the party. We were all fried after 4 hours of tennis, but it was fun! Of course anyone who can get here is invited! This was the second year we did it.

I can understand that, I think to play left hand and to serve is HARDDDD !!!!When i'm practicing, i try to do everything, I have a 2H backhand,2H forehand, 1H backhand, 1H forehand, I can use my left hand and hit forehand and backhands, but when I try to serve, I look plain stupid

And I only grunt when I'm getting tired... I like the grutinting, it pumps me up

Guilty as charged. When I try to go for a little bit extra I do grunt kinda loud.
